Reading goal 📚

2025/3/20 Edited to

... Read moreSetting reading goals is an essential part of any book lover's journey. It helps you to not only develop a reading habit but also to broaden your understanding of different genres and authors. Start by setting a realistic goal; for instance, you might aim to read a certain number of books each month or dedicate a specific amount of time daily to reading. Utilize platforms like Goodreads to track your progress and discover new titles that align with your interests. Consider participating in reading challenges, which can be found on social media or through dedicated book communities. These challenges often come with themes, prompts, or specific genres, which can help you step outside your comfort zone and explore books you might otherwise overlook. Engaging with hashtags such as #readingchallenge and #tbr (To Be Read) can also connect you with a community of readers who may share recommendations and experiences that resonate with you. By setting goals, actively engaging with reading communities, and continuously exploring new literary avenues, you'll not only enhance your reading experience but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for literature. So grab that book you've been meaning to read, set a goal, and dive into the literary world today!

Unfortunately, I didn’t meet my reading goal, but that is okay because I read 13 more than last year. I’m super proud of myself. I’m proud of how far I’ve come with my reading. For 2026 I decided to set my goal at only 22. I don’t want to overwhelm myself. This is a goal I know I can achieve.
